Kunming (ch. 昆明) is the capital of Yunnan province, China. It is located at the northern edge of the massive Lake Dian[?], in northern Yunnan, and has a population of over four million.

Kunming is known throughout China as the 'Spring City' for its climate, which is perpetually mild by Chinese standards, though light snow does fall in colder years.
